Lewis-Clark Valley Region

Lewis-Clark Valley Region




Warm summers, mild winters, and endless recreational opportunities make Lewis-Clark Country a year-round destination spot. Hells Canyon, North America's deepest gorge, draws thousands of visitors here each year from all over the United States and around the world.

World-class fishing (steelhead, salmon, trout, bass, sturgeon) and hunting (deer, chukar, elk, big horn sheep) attract residents and visitors alike to Lewis-Clark Valley. The expansive river systems of the Snake, Clearwater, and Grande Ronde promise fishermen a favorite spot to call their own.

Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Washington are the hub cities of Lewis-Clark Valley. Lewiston is the site of Idaho's first capital, which was later moved to Boise. This town boasts Idaho's only seaport, and one of three port facilities serving the Lewis-Clark valley. Just across the state line in Washington, Clarkston, began as a ferry landing on the west side of the Snake. Named in honor of William Clark, Clarkston was the last community settled in what is now Asotin County, Washington.

The Nez Perce Tribe operates two gaming facilities in North Central Idaho: the Clearwater River Casino near Lewiston and It'se Ye-Ye Casino in Kamiah. Video gaming machines and bingo is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
